I'm setting up links to the various threads on travel to the islands (Green, Orchid, Penghu, etc.). Please don't post in this thread unless you are linking. Good articles and such welcome.
The Islands Thread
Forum rules
When posting, especially when starting a new thread, please use a title that explains your post or thread, e.g. don't put "Help please!" when you could put "Where can I find a camp site near Kending?"
Please check your spelling, because someone may do a text search for your information, e.g. if someone searches for information on Xizhi and you have spelled it She Jher, they won't find it. Someone spelled camping as "campin" without a g at the end - again, it can't be found by a text search. For place names in Taiwan, please try to use Hanyu Pinyin as default, as that is the spelling most people know.
Please place links in your posts to sources of information. If you don't know how to hotlink text, click on the BBCode tips link in my signature to find out.
If you find a thread that is so hopelessly out of date that it couldn't be of use to anyone, please send the moderator a private message (with the URL of the thread)
If you spot two or more threads that you think could be merged, again, alert the moderator

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

A little bit of self promotion as I just posted about Kagoshima and nearby islands.

If anyone's interested - two friends and I once went to Taichung Harbour last year winter, and were thinking we could get to Penghu from there. Of course, there was nothing going there, and everyone kept telling us we should've flown there. In the end, we didn't get there, but it is interesting to note that the local operator of boat-tours offered to take us there for $6,000 only. Of course, that'd have been a one-way trip, but the boat could've held quite over a dozen persons.
This just leads me to think that anyone could pretty much charter someone, anyone's boat from any port in Taiwan, to within a reasonably distanced destination for a not-too-expensive price.

These are links to my webpages on Penghu and Orchid Island, both very worthwhile destinations. Elsewhere on the site are travelogues from around Taiwan and the region in general.

The October issue of Taiwan Review has four articles on the offshore islands. And at NT$55 it really is a bargain. Well worth picking up a copy for those who are interested in maritime Formosa.
